While the play of him tossing Charles Clay was impressive It wasn't new to him. In college I have seen him standing still and stop and ragdoll a charging Guard or FB. You had to catch it in the game because highlights just show tackles. I knew how powerful Hightower is. He is as big as DTs just not the bulked up frame. At 270-275 I would bet he is more stout than Vellano. I said Hightower is a bust in coverage which limits him as a LB. But he actually covers OK for how big he is. He plays at 270-275 and that's trying to keep his weight down to play LB. If he actually tried to bulk up he would be 290-300 very easily. He would likely weigh over 280 if he didn't try keeping his weight at LB size because he struggles keeping his hulking DT sized frame to 270-275. If he bulked to 290-300 he would retain most of his athleticism and would be a freak at near 300 and still run at least a 4.75. Most of all he would be very stout as a 3-4 DE and do to olineman what he did to Clay. My opinion he would be quite a package of power and athleticism if he bulked up some to play 3-4 DE. He would be much ,ore stout than Vellano. Just an idea
